On Saturday Aaron got to go shopping with Grandma Jo and Grandpa Mike. He got some clothes, but his real treasure was this light-up light sabre. Totally cool.
On Saturday (after his birthday shopping) we had his big friend party. I had scheduled a big bounce house and was planning a fun outdoor party. But, we woke to rain and 60 degrees that day. So the bounce house had to be rescheduled, and we had to come up with some last minute games to play indoors. I let Savannah be in charge of games. They played Charades, had a dance party, and had a cake walk (except with smarties instead of cake).
We fed the kids pizza. Then opened presents.
Then we went back in the kitchen for cupcakes (he wanted 6's again). AND he wanted a monster truck cake. So I made him a special cake along with the cupcakes.
Next up was his real birthday on Sunday. He wasn't happy that he had to go to church on his birthday, but it made it ok when he got sung to in Primary and got to go to the Bishop's office for a treat. After church he opened presents.
Aaron's favorite present from us was a Darth Vader Mask. That kids really loves Star Wars.
Then it was time for cake. I had used up all my frosting the day before, so I sprinkled the cake with chocolate chips, instead. Aaron was NOT happy about that, and refused to have anything to do with the cake. Scott finally talked him into at least blowing out the candles.
I had used trick candles, so that cheered him up pretty quickly.
Sitting back, thinking he had blown them out...
Then realizing that they weren't blown out and trying again....
Finally, the whole family had to help to get them completely blown out.
And the fun continued on into Monday, when the rescheduled bounce house arrived. The kids jumped all day. And in the afternoon, some of Aaron's friends who hadn't been able to make it on Saturday, came to jump and play with Aaron. I think it was a good birthday week.
